Inscriçoes de Menologia para Janeir 15: 

Primary Liturgical Feast of the Day: St. Paul of Thebes, the first hermit, his Dies Natalis is Jan. 10, but his liturgical feast is set for today, Jan. 15; the Whore Church or Prostitute Church of Roman Protestantism has pretended to have transferred his feast to Jan. 10, but this may not be accepted, or followed, without grave affront to the Divine Majesty, a Mortal Sin (link); 

Secondary Feast: The Holy Prophets Habacuc & Michaeas, whose bodies were found in Judaea by divine revelation in the days of Emperor Theodosius the Elder; 

Feast of Our Lady of the Poor (Notre Dame des Pauvres, or Nossa Senhora dos Pobres or Onze Lieve Vrouw van de Armen) in Banneux, in Liege, in the French-speaking half called Wallonia, in Belgium, January 15, 1933 A.D.: The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a 11 years old girl, Marrietta Beco 8 times between Jan. 15 & March 2, 1933 A.D., identifying herself as Our Lady of the Poor, & Our Lady of the Nations, saying "I come to relieve suffering. Believe in me & I will believe in you;" it is my personal understanding, that the Blessed Virgin Mary's reference to "Nations" refers to the racial & linguistic, & even "ethnic," rivalry between Francophone Walloon Belgians, & the Flemish speaking Belgians, as part of her endeavor to draw them together (link); 

Feast of Our Lady of the Harvest or of Our Lady, Protectrix of Crops, in Syria: Marian Calendars mention this feast but provide no information; the Syriacs observe a feast of the same name May 15; there is an Assyrian or Chaldean Rite Monastery of this name, but I cannot find a connection;
